Takamatsu Machinery is excited to showcase the new XW-130, 8" class twin-spindle CNC lathe! The automated turning center is a redesign of one of our most popular machines, the XW-150.

The new XW-130 features the fastest loading times in it's class at 6 seconds load/unload using the GTH 3-axis auto loading system. Also, by improving the Middle Turn Device, the original design that requires 2 loader movements for receiving and transferring parts is reduced to only one loader movement. This results in a minimum system cycle time of only 18 seconds for 10-20 operations using a single gantry servo loader.

Dimensional stability was also a key focus for the XW-130. The standard use of X and Z axis box guideways provide added rigididy under heavy cutting conditions. The spindle has as standard 11/7.5kW motors and φ100 large diameter spindle bearings, achieving strong cutting capability together with a built-in feature material damping vibration structure (Patent Pending). In addition, it is equipped with the spindle base cooling system, which alleviates thermal growth under continuous production.
